St Chris wins Education Project of the Year – MEED Projects Awards 2026
St Christopher's School's new Senior School campus in Raffa has been named Education Project of the Year for Bahrain at the MEED Projects Awards 2026, in association with Mashreq.
The national award places our new campus among the very best projects delivered anywhere in Bahrain this year. It is a proud moment for our whole community, and a fitting recognition of a building designed around the way our students learn, create and compete.
One of the region's most respected project awards
Now in their 16th year, the MEED Projects Awards recognise excellence in design, engineering and construction across the Middle East and North Africa. MEED describes them as the region's most prestigious construction awards.
This year, just 73 projects were named National Winners, across 17 categories and nine countries: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Projects are assessed by an independent judging panel on engineering excellence, technological innovation, sustainable practices and overall benefit to society.
A campus designed for the future of learning
Our Senior School and Sixth Form campus in Raffa was designed to give students the spaces they need to thrive, inside and outside the classroom.
- STEM spaces that support hands-on investigation, problem-solving and innovation
- Sports facilities for training, competition and lifelong healthy habits
- Performing arts spaces, including our new 750-seat auditorium, which recently hosted the second St Chris Performing Arts Festival
Together, these facilities reflect our belief that an outstanding education develops the whole person: academically, creatively and physically.
Thank you
We extend our warmest congratulations and thanks to our architects and engineers, Mohamed Salahuddin Consulting Engineering Bureau (MSCEB), whose vision and expertise helped bring this campus to life. Our thanks also go to everyone involved in the project, and to our students, staff and families, who make it such a special place to learn.
This recognition is a milestone for St Chris and for education in Bahrain, and we look forward to many more achievements within these award-winning walls.
Be part of something extraordinary. Be St Chris.
